The New Calvary of Jerusalem

Title: The New Calvary of Jerusalem
LC Subject: Formations (Geology)
Description: Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "On the north of Jerusalem. just outside the wall is an elevation called "The New Calvary" from the opinion of many that is may be the hill upon which the cross of Christ was reared. The old traditional view, no longer held by scholar. is that the cross and the tomb of Jesus were within the walls of the church of the Holy Sepulchre. in the eastern quarter of the city. While the evidence is by no means conclusive, there are good reasons for believing that on yonder hill. stood the Cross of Him who died to save us all. You remember that the place was called Golgotha, which means either "place of Skulls" or "like a skull". This rocky eminence with its two great caves suggests a skull to everyone who sees it from the city wall. where this view is take."
